Summary:Urban and roadside trees (URT) provide many benefits in terms of environment, economic, social and aesthetic. The purpose of this research project was to assess public attitudes and perceptions towards URT in Taman Tun Dr. Ismail based on the 18 importance and performance attributes listed in the questionnaire.
